Angela Yeo and Mahesh Mistry, AM Best, said requirements forcing reinsurance in local markets are spreading from emerging to developed economies. Both spoke with AM Best TV at AM Best's Europe Insurance Market & Methodology Briefings – London.

Remarks by French president Emmanuel Macron suggest a tougher approach to protecting Europe as global chemicals move towards a 2028 bottom of cycle. -          Ethylene, propylene capacity additions to accelerate, peak in 2027 -          2028 bottom of the cycle, project delays could push this out to 2029-          2000-2028 almost 75% of global capacity additions for key building blocks have been in China -          Final investment decision (FID)-to-on spec production can be only 2.5 years in China, so risk of further projects adding to the problem -          China additions may slow from 2030 due to peak carbon goals-          Fight for survival for producers in Europe and Asia-          To balance markets around 24m tonnes of ethylene closures required – equivalent to demand of Europe, Former USSR and Africa -          26m tonnes of propylene closures required - equivalent to capacity of Europe, Former USSR and Africa-          Olefins demand at 30-year low in Europe, to 1990s levels, and will not revive-          Signs of a more protectionist approach by Europe to save industrial base-          Producers in China are also suffering from overcapacity, losing money-          China exported more chemicals than the US or Middle East in Q2 2025-          Trinseo closure, INEOS Quattro ratings downgrade spell more bad news 

3/4. Price Discovery, Trade Policy, and Government Market Distortions — Terry Anderson (Editor) — Andersondiscusses Timothy Fitzgerald's analysis demonstrating that border carbon adjustment mechanisms frequently disguise protectionist trade policies, aligning with the "bootleggers and Baptists" theoretical model. Anderson stresses that authentic price discovery in financial markets is absolutely crucial for effective climate adaptation. However, government intervention, including subsidized insurance programs for flood and crop losses, systematically distorts accurate price signals, preventing consumers from developing effective behavioral and economic adaptations to genuine environmental risks. 1905

Wyobraźcie sobie polityka, którego angielski brzmi jak język ojczysty. Który jednym zdaniem potrafi rozbroić podchwytliwe pytanie dziennikarza, a drugim zdobyć zaufanie milionów. W nowym odcinku “English Biz” bierzemy pod lupę angielski Alexandra Stubba. Prezydent Finlandii swobodnie włada pięcioma językami. Czego z jego stylu mógłby nauczyć się Karol Nawrocki? Zobaczymy, jak jego polityczne sformułowania można przełożyć na krótkie, wyraziste zdania, które zrobią świetne wrażenie na spotkaniach biznesowych (i nie tylko!) Najsłynniejsze przemówienie Stubba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECaqX1hCQ6g Lista zwrotów: The bottom line is that… The core point is that… What it boils down to is… To put it simply In plain terms To simplify matters Let me be clear.

In this episode, Mariana speaks with Pedro Pullen Parente, a remarkable Brazilian public servant and businessmen.  Pedro was previously Minister of Planning, Chief of Staff, Minister of Mines and Energy under President Cardoso. He was also the CEO of Petrobras, ran Bunge Brazil, and was the CEO of BRF, one of the world's largest food companies   Mariana and Pedro speak about the pros and cons of Brazil's protectionist economic model. The model might serve as a vision for President Trump as high tariffs, local content requirements, and many other non-market barriers have allowed Brazil to protect its manufacturing sector and jobs while also lowering competitiveness and protecting vested interests.     They also discuss how choosing between the United States and China may not be beneficial to countries like Brazil as well as the likelihood that Brazil might benefit from the current trade war as increased food productivity in the country will allow it to increase supply. However, they emphasize how the only way for Brazil to reach its potential is to focus on removing its own internal barriers to competition and free markets, not the other way around.

From September 20, 2023: Economic warfare isn't a new concept. Protectionist policies, asymmetrical trade agreements, currency wars—those are just a few examples of the economic levers states have long used to control outcomes. But in their new book, two political scientists, Henry Farrell and Abe Newman, argue that a technological innovation spurred on by free market embracers and coopted by the U.S. was an accidental entry point into a new era of economic statecraft—an era whose precise contours and rules are still being ironed out today, as we are fighting in a so-called economic war. Lawfare Associate Editor Hyemin Han talked to them about how this weaponization came to be, how U.S. national security objectives are bleeding into economic warfare, and what policymakers might focus on in trying to ensure that the economic web that the U.S. currently sits at the center of is not ravaged by its own power.

Yesterday was US President Trump's very big announcement on reciprocal tariffs, which turned out to be a plan to investigate taxing US consumers at a future date. Markets had to decide whether the president was being a protectionist or a pushover, and for now are erring toward pushover. The delay is seen as an opportunity to do “deals”. So far, such deals have been more spin than substance.

Today, we're diving into something that's been simmering in the background of global politics and economics for a while now, but it's starting to boil over in ways that could seriously impact the U.S. economy. And, of course, it ties back to everyone's favorite orange-hued, tariff-loving president: Donald Trump. Yep, we're talking about Trump's tariffs, the rise of BRICS+, and what happens when the U.S. decides to play hardball with global trade. Buckle up, because this is gonna get spicy. Okay, let's start with the basics. Trump is slapping tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada, and basically anyone who isn't kissing his ring? Yeah. The idea is to “protect American jobs” and “bring manufacturing back to the U.S.” Sounds great in theory, right? But here's the thing: tariffs are like a boomerang. You throw them out there, and eventually, they come back and smack you in the face. And guess what? That boomerang is heading straight for us. Now, Imagine this scenario: Canada and Mexico—yes, our neighbors to the north and south—decide to join BRICS+. Wait, what's BRICS+? I know, I know, it's not exactly dinner table conversation unless you're a total geopolitics nerd. But stick with me, because this is huge. BRICS+ is basically a coalition of some of the biggest emerging economies in the world: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The “+” is for the new countries joining the club, like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. Together, these countries represent 40% of global trade, 50% of the world's population, and a staggering $600 billion of all U.S. imports. That's not chump change, folks. Now, if Canada and Mexico—two of our largest trading partners—decide to join BRICS+, it's game over for the U.S. in terms of maintaining its economic dominance. Why? Because BRICS+ is all about creating an alternative to the U.S.-dominated global financial system. They're talking about trading in their own currencies, bypassing the U.S. dollar, and basically telling the U.S. to take its tariffs and shove ‘em. And let's be real, this didn't happen in a vacuum. Trump's tariffs were like throwing gasoline on a fire. They pissed off our allies, alienated our trading partners, and made the U.S. look like the schoolyard bully who thinks he can push everyone around. But here's the thing about bullies: eventually, the other kids get tired of getting pushed around and band together to fight back. That's exactly what's happening with BRICS+. And when the “f*** around and find out” moment comes home to roost, who do you think the MAGA crowd is gonna blame? Obama? Nancy Pelosi? CNN? Or maybe DEI—because apparently, that's the new scapegoat for everything these days. Of course they will. That is who they have been conditioned to blame. But here's the truth: this will be a self-inflicted wound. Protectionist, isolationist, antagonistic trade policies don't make a country stronger—they make it weaker. They shrink economies, stifle innovation, and create a whole lot of bad blood with the rest of the world. Now, I know some of you are thinking, “But hey, tariffs feel good in the moment, right?” We are taking action. We are putting America first! Sure, if you're the bully picking on someone because you've got low self-esteem, no genuine plan. It feels powerful to flex your muscles and say, “We're not gonna take it anymore!” But that feeling is short-lived. Eventually, the other kids stop playing with you, and you're left sitting alone at the lunch table. And that's where we're headed if we don't course-correct. Free trade expands the economic interests of everyone involved. It creates jobs, lowers prices for consumers, and fosters innovation. Protectionism does the opposite. It's like building a wall around your economy and hoping no one notices that the rest of the world is moving on without you. So, what's the takeaway here? Well, for starters, we need to stop pretending that tariffs are some kind of magic bullet for economic growth. They're not. They're a blunt instrument that does more harm than good in the long run. And we need to start paying attention to what's happening with BRICS+. This isn't just some abstract geopolitical concept—it's a real threat to U.S. economic dominance. And finally, we need to stop blaming everyone else for our problems. Obama didn't do this. Nancy Pelosi didn't do this. CNN didn't do this. This is on us. We voted for the guy who thought tariffs were a good idea, and now we're going to reap what we sow. So, good luck, America! We're gonna need it. Because if Canada and Mexico decide to join BRICS+, it's gonna be a whole new world out there. And I don't know about you, but I'm not sure we're ready for it. Thanks for tuning in, everyone.

After a year of Japan's grand plan to enter our nation's steel market by acquiring American company U.S. Steel, President Biden has made the decision to block the proposed $14 billion deal with Japanese company Nippon Steel, citing national security risks. Nippon representatives say they plan to challenge the decision, but with President-elect Trump already saying he would block the sale as well, they are unlikely to find friendlier negotiations come Inauguration Day. Co-anchor of The Big Money Show, Taylor Riggs, speaks with the host of Making Money on Fox Business, Charles Payne, about why blocking this sale helps protect Americans in the future, the challenges that face the city of New Orleans tourist economy, and he previews his TV town hall coming January 16th on Fox Business.

Canadian reaction to the news that Donald Trump will return to the White House has been mixed.

Former NZ ambassador to the United States Tim Groser says Donald Trump's presidential win can be attributed in a large part to the middle class "being screwed". "The Democrats have become the party of the rich. If you take the top 25 districts in terms of wealth, 24 of them are held by democrats." Groser, also a former Trade Minister, told Wellington Mornings host Nick Mills that Trump will move in the direction of tariffs which would impact New Zealand. "He's been consistent on one thing since the 1980s. He's a protectionist. You can be pretty damn sure he will move in that direction, that cannot possibly be in New Zealand's interests as a small, vulnerable trading nation."

Recorded live from the WTO Public Forum 2023 Panellists:  Angela Ellard, WTO Deputy Director-General   Jennifer Hillman, Professor, IIEL at Georgetown Law; Co-Director of The Center on Inclusive Trade and Development, Georgetown Law   Stormy-Annika Mildner, Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany   Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute   This podcast episode was recorded on 13 September 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. This special episode of the GTS was recorded at the headquarters of global trade – the WTO in Geneva - during its annual Public Forum in September. With the theme ‘It's Time For Action', the 2023 WTO Public Forum brought delegates and trade experts together to assess the state of trade multilateralism. Many of these discussions focused on how trade can contribute to tackling climate change and promoting sustainability. A new sense of urgency was palpable this year. The 2023 WTO Global Trade Report, launched during the Public Forum, also raised concerns about the regionalisation or even fragmentation of the trade landscape. Protectionist tendencies remain strong and proliferating subsidies are posing a challenge to multilateral rulemaking. At the same time, in a context of rising geopolitical tensions, trade policy is increasingly seen through a national security lens. Where does this gloomy outlook leave the WTO? What role can it play in reducing the risks of trade fragmentation and restoring the credibility and relevance of a rules-based system? ___________________________________________ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

A recent Business Standard survey of chief executives of India Inc reveals business leaders expect the government to take immediate remedial steps to stem the rupee's slide against dollar. This follows an 8.5% fall in the Indian currency's value against the greenback this year. Vimal Kejriwal, CEO and MD of KEC International, an engineering, procurement and construction major, said the government should impose limits on importing non-essential goods and expediting dollar remittances for exporters, apart from easing norms for foreign investment. Others said, they expect the government to impose a higher import tax on all non-essentials like cosmetics, gold, and electronics in the near term. The second-biggest consumer of gold, India imported $46 billion worth of the metal in FY22. On July 1, the government hiked the customs duty on gold from 7.5% to 12.5%. Electronics goods are the largest non-oil import segment.  Around 80% of the CEOs surveyed by Business Standard expect additional steps from the RBI or government to contain the rupee's fall. Media reports indicate authorities have enhanced monitoring of select imports that have seen a sharp uptick in recent months. Non-essential imports may be targeted through duty hikes as a part of the government's effort to contain the widening current account deficit. India's current account deficit in April-June was at $23.9 billion, or 2.8% of GDP, much higher than the $13.4 billion, or 1.5% of GDP, in January-March 2022. When a similar situation emerged in 2018, the government raised import duties on 19 items including consumer electronics, diamonds, jewellery, jet fuel and leather footwear.  These goods, however, constituted just 2.8% of India's total import bill the previous financial year, raising question marks over the efficacy of the measure. Since the Union Budget early that year, the government had, in fact, firmly moved India towards greater protectionism, raising tariffs on several different product lines. The days of import substitution prior to liberalisation prove that such tariff increases are a counter-productive form of policy.  By allowing only essential imports required for production and protecting the domestic producers from the competition, the policy hindered competitiveness, hurt consumers and damaged exports. Post 1991, imports were significantly liberalised and duties brought down. But in recent years, India has reversed its two-and-a-half decade-old policy of tariff reduction to favouring protectionism.  Import substitution is regularly spoken of as a priority for the government on the argument that India's ‘infant' domestic industries need to be protected. But even the mature automobile industry has sought protections.   With India and the United Kingdom entering the last lap of negotiations over a free-trade agreement, passenger vehicle makers in India have raised concerns about any sharp reduction in customs duty on imported vehicles under the pact. They argued that competing countries in the European Union shall also seek such a measure and this will ultimately hurt the domestic industry as India is negotiating an FTA with the trading bloc, too. Arun Maira, Former Member Planning Commission & Former Chairman BCG India says Indian firms want to compete but seek a fair chance. Industries seek protection for a short while. It's not fair to pit infant industries against global players. Protectionist steps are being justified on the ground that they will let domestic companies grow into viable competitors so that they can sustain on their own. But raising tariffs purely to protect industries eventually leads to high-cost and uncompetitive business environment. At the end of the day, a balance is needed. Industries cannot expect to operate within a walled garden for perpetuity, especially when India's stated aim is to integrate into global supply chains. Industries that have achieved a certain scale s

Jaime is a wildlife ranger in the province of Entre Ríos. While visiting his reserve and going on a photographic safari, I had a very interesting chat with him, all in Rioplatense Spanish. He told me his story when he was a kid and had to hunt to eat and how he gradually realized the importance of conserving the flora and fauna. He also told me a lot of things about the animals of the region and, for example, what to do if you get bitten by a yarará snake. Can you imagine the answer?
